Sec. 16a-45a. Residential and commercial conservation service program. Definition.

      Sec. 16a-45a. Residential and commercial conservation service program. Definition. As used in section 16a-46, "participant" means: (1) Each electric or gas company, as defined in section 16-1, which has annual sales, other than for resale, in excess of seven hundred fifty million kilowatt hours of electricity or ten billion cubic feet of natural gas; (2) any company, person or entity fulfilling the responsibilities of section 16a-46 in whole or in part, on behalf of one or more such electric or gas companies, as determined by the secretary; (3) any petroleum product vendor registered under section 16a-22d, whose gross volume of retail fuel oil, propane or kerosene delivered in its most recently completed year exceeds two million gallons; and (4) any other electric or gas company, as defined in section 16-1, municipal electric utility organized under chapter 101, municipal electric energy cooperative organized under chapter 101a or electric cooperative organized under chapter 597 which is included in a plan under section 16a-46a and subsequently approved by the secretary, and which voluntarily participates in the program under section 16a-46.

      (P.A. 82-231, S. 1, 8; P.A. 83-192, S. 1; P.A. 90-304, S. 10; P.A. 95-32, S. 1, 7.)

      History: P.A. 83-192 repealed Subsec. (a), which defined "energy conservation", and applied the definition of "participant" to Sec. 16a-46d; P.A. 90-304 separated participants in the residential and the commercial energy conservation programs into separate definitions and expanded the participants in the residential energy conservation program to Subsec. (b) to include petroleum product vendors whose gross volume of retail fuel, propane or kerosene exceeds $2,000,000, small home heating oil dealers and municipal water works systems; P.A. 95-32 deleted former Subsec. (a) which had defined "participant" for purposes of Sec. 16a-46d, deleted water companies, small home heating oil dealers and municipal water works system from definition of "participant" as used in Sec. 16a-46, and made technical changes, effective July 1, 1995 (Revisor's note: An incorrect reference to "plan under section 16-46a" was changed editorially by the Revisors to "plan under section 16a-46a", thereby correcting a clerical error in P.A. 95-32).
